The state of Israel is convinced if other nations become upset at their government, the cause of their behavior can be found in a hidden or open hatred of Jews and the nation of Israel. According to a statement from the Israel Foreign Ministry: “the impression that is being created is that the Turkish prime minister is trying to integrate with the Muslim world at Israel’s expense.” It is simply impossible for Israelis to contemplate the actions of other nations might stem from decisions of the Israel government. Last year, Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey expressed his outrage at the invasion of Gaza. From the Israel perspective, Erdogan launched an attack on their nation for no reason other than hate.

For example, several months ago, Danny Ayalon, Isrsael Deputy Foreign Minister deliberately insulted the Turkish ambassador to his country and made certain the insult was broadcast on TV. Ayalon behaved in a childish fashion by having the Turkish diplomat portrayed as sitting in a lower chair in order to convey power. When children are in charge of Israel’s foreign policy, why should anyone be surprised that other nations refuse to play these childish games.

Danny Ayalon, Deputy Foreign Minister in Israel reacted with fury at comments made by a student to him while giving a speech at the Oxford Union. A young man shouted in Arabic, “slaughter the Jews” and interrupted the speech being given by the Israeli minister. Local police are investigating the comment as an example of a “racially aggravated disorder”and the Oxford Union is conducting its own investigation, but Ayalon wants action because he will not tolerate ANY example of anti-Semitism. Shouting is not an unheard occurrence at the Oxford Union, and the behavior of some students was obviously in violation of university regulations.

The ironic aspect of this story is that a month ago, Danny Ayalon deliberately and with full intent insulted Turkey’s ambassador to Israel. He even asked Israeli TV to film his insult. But, Ayalon was furious when the Turkish media reacted with anger to his insults. And, this is the man who becomes furious at insults?
